Post Bail For Arrest In Queens

Q: Do you need a job to bail someone out of jail?

No - if you signed the bond it doesn&#039;t matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.

Description

The Bail Bond Agreement is a legal document used to facilitate the posting of bail for individuals arrested in Queens. This form outlines the responsibilities and obligations of the applicant seeking bail on behalf of the defendant. Key features of the form include the requirement for the applicant to pay a premium, indemnification of the bail bonding company, and provisions for covering costs associated with the defendant’s apprehension if necessary. The applicant must also agree to cooperate with the bail bonding company in securing the defendant's release and notify them of any changes in contact information within 48 hours. The agreement is crucial for ensuring that the bail bonding company is protected against potential losses or liabilities. It is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and legal assistants who assist clients in navigating the bail process, as well as for paralegals managing documentation and execution of bail bonds. Filling out the form requires clear identification of all parties involved and careful attention to the listed terms to avoid complications later.

No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.

Bailing someone out of jail who has a history of untrustworthy behavior can create headaches. You're essentially agreeing to put up 10 percent of a bail bond that could be tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of dollars. If they fail to show, then you went to all that extra trouble for nothing.

Bail bond agents can carry firearms (like regular citizens) and make arrests in California. However, they do not have the same power as police officers to investigate crimes, enforce traffic laws, or cordon off specific areas.

Bail information is considered public record in the State of California, meaning that anyone (not only defendants themselves) can request this info. The details can be accessed via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system or the Criminal Intake Section.

Failing to post bond has several consequences: Extended Jail Time: You remain in custody until your court date, ranging from weeks to months. Court Appearances: Regular court appearances are required.

Best-case scenario: Release within 30 minutes to 2 hours after posting bail during regular business hours. More typical scenario: Release within 4-8 hours, especially during off-peak hours or weekends. Worst-case scenario: Release could be delayed for 24 hours or more in complex cases or due to logistical hurdles.

Most bond agreements include travel restrictions, confining you to a specific geographic area such as your county or state. These limitations are designed to ensure your availability for court dates. If travel is necessary, you must seek prior approval from the court or your bail bondsman.
